Bootcamp Training
IN order to prepare for their roles, the actors started a physical bootcamp three months before filming, and was similar to the training thatwould have received in the army at the time, from ’skaap-dra’, push-ups, and marching, to cleaning their boots, learning how to hold a rifle and eating army issue rations from their tin plates. Director Oliver Hermanus wanted them to experience it themselves before filming started. And they did.
